Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 106 - Teasing the Princess

“How audacious, to speak such nonsense to Princess Shuiyue!”

“Stand up and fight me.

I, Zhao Bin, will definitely teach you a lesson!”

“Princess Shuiyue, how would you like to punish this thief?

To kill or to slash, just give the command and I, Yin Tang, would not hesitate to die a thousand deaths!”

The multitude of young men vied with one another to curry favor with Nangong Yuerong.

They might resist the temptation of stunning beauty, but Nangong Yuerong is far more than just a breathtaking beauty—who wouldn’t want to pluck the brightest pearl in the room?

Zhou Heng then burst into laughter, looking Nangong Yuerong up and down, and said, “Had I known the princess was so beautiful, of course I wouldn’t have offered a thousand Spirit Stones—it should at least be two thousand!”

A sudden silence fell over the crowd!

Is the worth of Princess Shuiyue something that can be measured with Spirit Stones?

This lad didn’t just stick to his original bid, but raising it from one thousand to two thousand, isn’t that deliberately provocative to Nangong Yuerong?

How could this young man be so audaciously bold!

“You injured my brother, but as the princess, I will not bully the weak.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

I will lower my Cultivation Level to the First Layer of Spirit Gathering.

If you can withstand a hundred moves from me, we will call it even.

But if you are less skilled, then do not blame me for retaliating doubly!” Nangong Yuerong said coldly, with a stern expression.

Her relationship with Nangong Lin was not the best, but no matter what, he was her blood brother and also represented the dignity of the Royal Family.

There was no reason for him to be struck without cause!

After the incident, she immediately ordered an investigation into Zhou Heng’s background and discovered he was the son-in-law of An Luochen.

That’s when she decided not to pursue the matter further.

If An Luochen was still lingering in the Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven, Nangong Yuerong would have killed Zhou Heng without hesitation—how could the Imperial Clan’s might be challenged so lightly?

Regardless of right or wrong, that’s the absolute authority!

But An Luochen had made a breakthrough!

That complicates things!

Although An Luochen had just made a breakthrough and would definitely not be a match for several Heaven-Opening Realm old ancestors of the Heavenly Star Sect, at the same realm, no one could stop An Luochen if he wanted to escape!

If an Open Heaven Realm expert were to seek revenge with determination, even the mighty Heavenly Star Sect would be torn apart.

An expert with no attachments is the most troublesome to deal with—kill if you can overpower them, run if you can’t!

Therefore, Nangong Yuerong adjusted her strategy, resolving to face Zhou Heng in a “fair” battle.

Then An Luochen would have no cause for complaint.

The Heavenly Star Sect might dread a Loose Cultivator expert, but An Luochen would dread the Heavenly Star Sect even more, after all, the sect has more than one Heaven-Opening Realm expert!

Although she would suppress her Cultivation Level to the First Layer of Spirit Gathering, her Divine Sense remains unchanged, still at the peak of the Initial Separation Realm.

Coupled with her Earth Spirit Body level Bloodline Power, what could Zhou Heng use to defend against her?

She brought up the matter of a thousand Spirit Stones to leave Zhou Heng with no choice but to accept.

Zhou Heng stopped An Yumei who was about to stand up and speak, not having fallen so low as to need a woman to fight his battles.

He had been suspecting why the Nangong Family had not reacted sooner—so they wanted to humiliate him in front of all these witnesses!

Nangong Yuerong would certainly not show any mercy, nor would she kill him, given that she still needed to consider An Luochen’s face.

That was also the reason for the Nangong Clan’s silence over the past few days—they intended to severely injure him at this moment!

How would he fight his way into the top three with serious injuries, and gain the qualification to enter the Dayan Sect ruins?

If he had to slink back to Tianhang City with his tail between his legs, could he ever hold his head high again?

To destroy a person, one does not need to kill.

Zhou Heng looked at Nangong Yuerong and inwardly sighed that this seemingly celestial beauty actually harbored such cruel intentions.

He gave a slight smile and said, “Since Princess deigns to instruct me, I could not ask for more!”

The battle was inevitable, so might as well accept it heartily!

Besides, who should he fear in a battle of equal realms?

“Quick words from a quick mind,” Nangong Yuerong said with a noble and graceful smile.

With a flutter, she was out of the palace, “Follow me!”

The destructive power of the Spirit Gathering Realm is not to be underestimated.

This palace may look imposing and magnificent, but it was not fortified with any Formation.

Just one stray attack could break columns and destroy walls.

Zhou Heng followed her out, with the young elites of the Eight Great Cities eager not to miss such a grand battle behind him.

Of course, except for those who had come from Tianhang City, everyone else believed that Zhou Heng would surely lose.

The only question was how many moves it would take for him to be defeated.

“Ten moves, after all, he is among the top ten from Tianhang City!”

“Princess Shuiyue is a prodigy, invincible among her peers, and even though she has suppressed her power to the Third Layer of Spirit Gathering, her Divine Sense still remains at the Third Layer of Initial Separation.

Not to mention, she can still employ high-tier Martial Arts Techniques.

I believe, at most five moves!”

“That kid actually made such a preposterous claim, betting a thousand Spirit Stones for Princess Shuiyue’s loyalty, he’s courting death.

Princess Shuiyue will definitely defeat him with a single move, leaving him severely injured!”

“Hmph, Zhou Heng will win.

Who dares to bet against me?”

Lin Fuxiang admired Zhou Heng the most, and upon hearing how lightly everyone looked upon her beloved, she could not help but flare up with anger and impulsively started taking bets with the crowd.

The crowd all smiled, none of them would seriously quarrel with someone who was only at the First Layer of Spirit Gathering, a mere nobody.

Of course, that was also because Lin Fuxiang was a beautiful woman.

Had it been a man, he probably would have been slapped by now.

An Yumei pulled Lin Fuxiang to one side and said, “Do not stoop to their level.

Once Zhou…

wins, we will have the chance to slap their faces hard!”

“Hmm!” Lin Fuxiang nodded, showing agreement with An Yumei for the first time.

Nangong Yuerong stopped in the palace’s outer courtyard.

Even though the upcoming battle was bound to lay waste to this place, relaying the floor tiles afterward would be much simpler.

Besides, she was not in the mood to take Zhou Heng to the city’s Beast Fighting Arena.

“I shall give you three moves first!” Nangong Yuerong placed her hands behind her back, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, revealing a stretch of her fair, smooth neck.

In the gentle night breeze, her robes billowed softly as if she were about to take flight on the wind, a vision of grace and allure.

Many people revealed looks of infatuation, for Nangong Yuerong had every right to captivate their hearts.

“No need!” Zhou Heng’s figure shot forward, as he activated his Swift Cloud Radiant Step, pointing a finger towards Nangong Yuerong.

Instantly, a black Sword Waterfall materialized out of thin air, surging tumultuously towards Nangong Yuerong.

With his Cultivation Level at the Third Layer of Spirit Gathering, even without a sword in hand, he could wield Sword Qi, his lethality in no way inferior to wielding an ordinary weapon.

Nangong Yuerong’s beautiful eyes widened in spontaneous awe, unable to help herself she exclaimed, “Realm of Momentum!” Without a moment’s hesitation, she swung her right hand, lightning flared, and incessant sounds of sharp weapons clashing rang out.

When the black waterfall and golden light simultaneously faded, Zhou Heng and Nangong Yuerong stood ten paces apart.

Zhou Heng still had a smile on his face, while Nangong Yuerong now wore a more cautious expression.

“Just now…

Did Princess Shuiyue mention the Realm of Momentum?”

“Has that kid truly grasped the Realm of Momentum?”

“Impossible, how old is he?

How could he have possibly grasped the Realm of Momentum!”

“If he truly has a grip on the Realm of Momentum, then the outcome of this fight is uncertain!”

Nangong Yuerong’s brows knitted slightly; she was certain that Zhou Heng had indeed grasped the Realm of Momentum!

She was not afraid of the Realm of Momentum because she too had mastered it.

That was where her confidence in defeating Zhou Heng despite restraining her own power came from.

But now that Zhou Heng also possessed the Realm of Momentum, things were troublesome.

To defeat and severely injure him within a hundred moves was going to be exceedingly difficult!

She was someone who could let go as easily as she could hold on, and thus she revealed a slight smile, “Zhou Heng, for you to have mastered the Realm of Momentum at this age, you are truly a genius!

How about this, come serve me, swear allegiance for a hundred years, and during this time, I can satisfy all your cultivation needs.

How about it?”

What!

The crowd all gasped in astonishment.

The Realm of Momentum!

Indeed, it was the Realm of Momentum!

It was said that in the entire Cold Blue Country, there were only about a dozen people who had mastered this realm.

For Zhou Heng to reach such a level at his age was astounding!

Yet, what many envied even more were the terms Nangong Yuerong offered to Zhou Heng—fulfilling all cultivation requirements!

This was not a promise to be made lightly!

The higher one’s realm, the greater the need for resources, especially after reaching the Land Cleaving Realm.

Unless one was a truly heavenborn genius, every person in the Open Heaven Realm had been built up with a mountain of resources.

While serving for a hundred years may seem dauntingly long, those in the Spirit Gathering Realm had a lifespan of two hundred years, the Initial Separation Realm four hundred years, and the Land Cleaving Realm up to seven hundred years.

A century was not much in comparison—if it could be exchanged for endless cultivation resources, it’s absolutely worth it.

Envy and admiration filled the air!

Princess Shuiyue, as an Earth Spirit Body, was destined to be a prominent figure.

Many yearned for the opportunity to serve her, something countless people could not achieve even by breaking their heads.

The circles that Princess Shuiyue would move in in the future would definitely not be limited to the Open Heaven Realm.

Being by her side also meant endless opportunities!

And what if one could win the heart of the beautiful princess?

It’s said that familiarity breeds fondness, and there’s truth in that.

“Hahaha!” Zhou Heng laughed heartily, yet shook his head as he did so, “Princess, I’m someone who has never liked serving under others.

How about this, why don’t you join me instead and become my maidservant?”

Whirr!

Everyone felt their heads spinning.

Zhou Heng had actually rejected Nangong Yuerong’s goodwill!

Not only did he reject her, but he also teased her once more!

His audacity was astonishingly brazen!

“How audacious!” Nangong Yuerong could no longer contain her irritation, her face flushing with annoyance, Zhou Heng had completely infuriated her.

“If you want to fight, we fight, cut the idle chatter!” Zhou Heng suddenly let out a thunderous shout, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
